Food's not that high. Samantha gets crunchy food to munch on all day - a big bag is about $12 and will last you about 3-4 months. And she likes Pedigree canned food - she gets one can for dinner each night - and those are about $.53/can. So a month's worth of canned food is only about $15.

And I spend much more than that in toys... Every time I go out, I see something I know she'd love and get it. Her toy basket is past capacity!!
